When you closed a door or the trunk it had a real nice thunk to it. It made my Lexus IS300 feel like it was made out of tinfoil. I had a few minor problems (mostly electrical) and a recirc valve for the turbos went bad, but overall it was pretty reliable. Sometimes the radio or an electrical window would all of a sudden stop working and then a few months later it would work again. Very strange. But if something major goes wrong it's going to be $$$.

Another thing I didn't like about it was that the engine was so far forward. It felt really nose heavy. Imagine a 300 lb. fat man always sitting on your front bumper. I don't know if the new ones are still like this.
